I'm not suggesting that newer TAs don't know good music or good DJs....just maybe they don't know how to write a full review. The more veteran TAs seem to not only post the positives of a set but also the negatives...which gives me a better idea about how good the music may have been. |

Even though Im very new to the scene comapared to all the cool kids (veterns)it is very possible that some newer TAs have been listening to EDM for a very long time and have just recently joined TA... I do agree with you that the Vets do give better reviews. So many times I think 'I dont like this' but I cant put my finger on why... It all comes experience. Just be glad the 'new TAs' had a good time |
Every single person has different taste...so no matter what you might read you will never really know how it was unless you were there...so your just reading personal opinions.
Glad I didnt go to this one
I just can't write long review because I don't see any reason yet...May be in the future I will contribute more to this community... Veterans post more because they are addicted to this forum and think that it is worth to do so...
My only review is that he was better at KH than Guv last night; which I think is about the environment...

liek imma 16yearz oldz and i gots into guv last nite wit ma fake id that ma friend double dared me wudnt werk and i liked the thump thump boom boom from that Digflower dood so i thought that i wud post about it!
But in all seriousness I'm a big fan of Digweed and an avid listener of Transitions. In anticipation of Digweed coming to guv I had been constantly playing his Aug 3rd set from Ibiza which was just some awesome choonage. This was the 2nd time I've seen Digweed live and I really enjoyed the stuff he spun, and that's what I was excited to post about. I chose to leave out the negatives like the crazy old asians, the hot and sticky atmosphere, the off beat atmosphere, and general stench of the place because I wasn't writing a review, I was just posting about what I enjoyed.
All in all a great night! The crowd was wonderful, polite, lots of room, and never too hot. Is it just me, or since Circa has opened, the crowd at the Guv has gotten better?
I barely listened to MO, or Fortier's opening sets, so I have no real opinion on them. I just like that Fortier left the BPM at a nice heavy pace for Digweed to come on, and get down to business.
Digweed played a fantastic set, perfect peak time music. It is just a pleasure hearing somebody like him play. Great timing, great mixing, and great tunes. Yes, he missed a few transitions here and there, but you could only notice because we have come to expect perfection from the man. The energy he played with was great for dancing, sharing and just enjoying our selves.
With that being said, I believe Digweed has one major flaw: he seems to play anti-climactic sets. He could have played till the end and just killed us/it, but he builds up, then lets us down gently. He did a great job of varying tracks to build energy and cool the crowd, just like a pro would. But, as the middle of the set came around, he started to just drop it a notch, and it felt like it got calmer and calmer.
Overall, I was just happy to hear the guy play again, it was long over due. I know he threw in a couple of oldies in there, but I just cannot ID them.
I ended up staying for MO's closing set, because I had to wait for the GO Bus. Must say, I was pleasantly surprised by the closing tunes. He kept that same banging/trippy feel, and did well to keep the floor filled, and the fans happy. Ended up leaving around 7am, during what I think was an old BT track?

| Originally posted by LKD K 1:18 and i just got back from curch..  so..night started off well with ninjapimp, infinityhigh and i taken off for the pre meetup. to all those who were pissed off at me, i dont blame u..but i walways show up 45 minutes to an hour late for meetups cos nobody shows up usually till about that time anyway  so...was nice meeting the peeps from michigan ie. djarecebo and crew. was nice finding out all the info about michigan for good old Elmo...but the guy still couldnt get him....was like one of those sad movies when the man and woman split apart for the rest of their life anyways..so we get in, addy is droppin some dirty fuckin beats...very impressive warm up set i must say. Kudos to Addy if he reads this. infinity_high and i went to the mainroom for a bit and found the eeasiest way to get abck to the kool haus was by tagging along with the dude transporting BTs fones between rooms BT starts settin up and when i noticed the apple logo on his laptop, out of a stupid fit of mine i yelled "Macs suck" to which he asked if i was some kind of a promoter of IBM and Bill Gates. ...so 1 hour later, im goin fuckin bizzerk in front of him to Emerge and he takes notice and yells "AND YOU SAID MAC SUCKS???" with an evil chuckle.. BT tore the crowd up like a dagger...really fuckin brilliant.... Who i was really there to see was Holden and   Staarted off his set with the original mix of Nothing and just went DIIIIIRTYYYYYYYYYYYYY after that..fuckin pounding like a fuckin bomb... too bad he didnt play legacy (even tho he says he had it) nor his returning 93 mix (which was obviously gonna be his conclusoin track) but due to time constraints and since it was MR. Corsten's turn on the decks he couldnt. the downside of last night were: 1. the dude up front whom i politely told not to blow his fuckin whistle 5 times and a whole load of others following suite.he didnt do so tho. i think it was like a habit...i can excuse him cos when i told him everytime he said he wouldnt but 10 minutes later, there it was *bee*bee*bee*bee*  2. the dude who interupted my talk with holden and just made a fooll of himself..this is how it went: dude: hey great set man...are u from toronto? holden brit accent) no no, im from Londondude: oh London, Ontario? Holden: nono, London UK  last night i just thought how low some people make DJs feel..sorry i just have to went this out....i saw tons of people giving napkins and shit to get signed...how can someone stoop so low and give a napkin to get signed????ur basically showing that even tho u came to see the DJ, u didnt get something worthwile to sign which u can keep treasured. anyway to end this page long review(longer than answers in my exams), shout out to all the TAs i met last night..was wanting to see 80 of us together..but it all got ruined cos @12, BT was sceduled to come on and thats when the meetup was to be. SHOUT OUTS: Charmscars-thanks for the hookup  halo20-thanks for the spot in line  Ninjapimp-thakns for the ride(as usual )Elmo-on-XTC- wish u couldve gotten in man...was a sad point of the night jojo_k & Hysterie- best people to party with cos theres always a smile on ur faces girls...keep it up kati- was nice meeting you...wonder where u dissappeared tatgirl- thanks for the reasoning...was the turning point in my night when i just said fuck it to everythig and started having fun. Rabbitjoker- we gotta have that talk later on Diginut- dont fret man..smile (talk about influences from working in No Frills )Muff2k- was crazy partyin with u man J_spot (from calgary)- *sings* something bout those little pills, the thrills, they kill a million brain cells j/k..nice meetin u brotrancearmada mecha Firestarter Rahvin Sober 247 sooper hansolo |

| Originally posted by ChemEnhanced but you had been a TA for two years by then...you are not a veteran...you are in the TA old age home now and can't even put together a complete sentence. |
I loved how the TA crowd set up shop in Asian land. Great people, and great vibe.

| Originally posted by loopdokter I spoke to Chris and he was having SEVERE technical issues in the booth. He was pretty flustered when I spoke to him. I guess there's a sub in the booth and it was making the CDJs and the 1200s (Chris is primarily a vinyl DJ) skip like mad. Anyway, I heard about an hour of his set before Diggers came on and he sounded absolutely fine to me. 3rd last tune he played was immense. |

| Originally posted by loopdokter The sound guy at the end was playing around a lot in the booth. It was quite obvious there were issues. |

| Originally posted by loopdokter Hahahahahahahaha. Oh man. Clue. Less. Chris has been DJing for something like 20 years. Technical difficulties happen. He wasn't blaming that on his set per say. I made that assumption because I DJ as well and know what it can be like. He just said he was having a hard time playing because of tech issues. Sometimes it's better to fight through all of that than have a sound guy fucking things up even more while you're playing. I'm only guessing that's the option Chris went with. The sound guy at the end was playing around a lot in the booth. It was quite obvious there were issues. When things aren't right in the booth technically, it can really eff up your flow. |
